Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the only new sitcom I've seen so far I intend to add to my regular viewing schedule (I'm also going to give Michael J. Fox a trial run, though I haven't seen it yet), but this would probably come in second place. Probably because I'm a sucker for an underdog sports narrative. It wasn't great but…

I've only seen the first episode of this but I liked it. It's easily, easily, easily the best "post-Mad Men" show so far. (Better than Playboy Club and Pan Am? Yes, it hits this remarkable milestone!) There's a playfulness to it lacking in pretty much every new attempt at cable "quality television" I've seen in the…

Jesus, this show's fucking commercials.

Plus, this show will give Parenthood a thematically and somewhat tonally consistent lead-in for the first time in its five seasons on the air!

This show is a black hole of fucking boredom. If it weren't for Dads, it would be my least-favorite of the 13 new fall 2013 network TV shows I've seen so far (and, at twice the length, I actually found it harder to get through than the pilot of Dads). The one thing I'll give it credit for is sneaking a handjob scene…

This show scored a 1.8 in the ratings, which is bad for a series premiere on any of the big four networks but full-on atrocious for CBS, so it turns out we don't have to speculate on how this show will last another season.

This episode is literally the first time ever that John Cho has looked his actual real-life age.

I fucking laugh at pretty much every one of the "Crane befuddled by the 21st century" jokes, and imagine I will do so for several episodes to come. I'm a sucker for 'em.

Terrible. From the studio audience breaking out into cringe-inducing cheers and applause at Jon Cryer's shitty cameo to the broad, terrible waitressing jokes to the forced sad studio audience "aww" when Anna Faris' son was sad about some shit to Badger running after an off-screen truck getting towed to the awful,…

Is #16 specifically calling out the CW's Hart of Dixie, or there another show with this premise I'm forgetting?

Hey, if we're including Hannibal in that, NBC gory is pretty goddamned gory.

The one Spader Office moment I totally loved was him spitting venomously at Andy, "I'm the fucking Lizard King!" If only the character could have been like that more consistently.

That was pretty mediocre and stuffed full of dumb plot holes. Megan Boone doesn't really strike me as the TV megastar of tomorrow. Spader is entertaining though. Got a few laughs from his dialogue (which is probably more laughs than I got from him in any episode of The Office S8). The random lick of "99 Problems" they…

I think I must be desensitized to the point of sociopathy, because watching this it didn't occur to me for a second that it was gory in the slightest until I got online and read that apparently it was.

Yeah, I was prepared to mega-ultra-hate this show back in May when I saw its preview and just knew Hannibal was going to get canceled. But now Hannibal isn't canceled so I just run-of-the-mill don't care about it.

Sadly, I don't think there's any way this show will have the CGI budget to feature Hulk (unless we make a return to 70s Hulk show-style bad green makeup, but no one wants that).

I gotta be honest, I have a feeling that a Renner guest spot would yield, like, a 0.2 ratings increase.

Tim Matheson on Hart of Dixie. Matthew Del Negro on Teen Wolf. And… Martin Sheen on Anger Management. :(

I mean, there's stretches where I've found this show phenomenal. I thought the second season finale was one of the very best episodes of television of 2011. I've not been too into this season though.

You're definitely right. It was the best example I could come up with though. I was also tempted to say that Friday Night Lights led into Law & Order: Criminal Intent in 2006-2007, but L&O:CI is more benign and forgettable than actively awful.
